The MTE Scholastic Book Fair is NEXT WEEK!  We are looking for volunteers to help students shop.  This is the Buy One, Get One Free (of equal or lesser value) fair.  If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UMQVYXsaXFlTN4eYtHOARD7xMK1aW_CHYxMgZpQUEOk/edit?usp=sharing  Volunteers will need to show their license to the Greeter at the front entrance.  

If you do not want to send your child with cash for the book fair, you can set up an EWallet ahead of time.  Here is the webpage link that will take you there:  https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/miltonterraceelem 

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, the MTE PTA will be hosting a Cinco de Mayo themed lunch on Thursday, May 7th.  We have secured the "main dish", but are hoping families would be willing to sign up for the remaining items.  Here is the sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0E4DAFAF2AA1F49-63812925-mtestaff 

We are also looking for help in setting up/cleaning up.  Both slots are on the sign up above.  Please reach out with any questions.  Thank you for helping us celebrate our awesome MTE Teachers!

And finally, our BIGGEST FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR is coming up in May.  We will be doing the Dance-a-thon Fundraiser that will kick off May 4th where families can set up their accounts and start collecting pledges for minutes danced and the GLOW Dance event will be on May 29th at 6 PM in the MTE Cafeteria.  

Join the PTA!  The MTE PTA really takes pride in the amount of events we hold for families during the school year.  Every volunteer needs to be a PTA Member (it's only $5), and we need a lot of volunteers throughout the year!  Please see the MTE Membership Flier on how to join the PTA.  We hold monthly meetings beginning in October to plan various events throughout the year, and we would love it if you could join us to share your ideas!

Volunteering is a great way to see your child during the school day and help out!  We appreciate any and all volunteers!  Sometimes we even have grandparents sign up.  Please reach out with any questions regarding the events above to Adrienne Snow, asnow1007@gmail.com.  For general PTA questions, please email MTEPTA@yahoo.com.

Dear Elementary families,

Class placement is a team process. We value parent input in developing well-balanced classes, so if you would like to share any pertinent information about your child entering grades 1-5 next year, please use the following form.  You may submit a form for each child that you have in our schools.  This form is completely optional and it is important to know that we do not take requests for specific teachers and/or to be placed with specific students.  Submissions received after the deadline may not be considered.  Thank you for your input!

Important Upcoming Dates:

May 5th - NYS Math Test Make up day:
Students in grades 3-5 were scheduled to take the New York State Math Test today, April 29th. Unfortunately, due to widespread technical difficulties with the state's computer-based testing platform, the assessment has been rescheduled. The new date for the grades 3-5 Math test is Tuesday, May 5th. We have been assured that intensive efforts are underway to resolve these technical issues. At this time, we anticipate that the remaining New York State assessments will proceed as originally scheduled.

May 13 and 14:  Kindergarten Screening 

May 22 - NO SCHOOL
May 25 - NO SCHOOL - Memorial Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a little help from dance instructors from the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Milton Terrace Elementary in Ballston Spa is turning students into dancers, and introducing them to some classic songs along the way.

The 10-week program is called “Dancing Through the Decades,” and bringing lots of smiles.

Milton Terrace celebrated a Day of Caring on Wednesday, February 12th, where students and staff members spent the day supporting various organizations within our community.  The day kicked off with a full school assembly about the importance of helping others in our community.  Grade level "buddies" then met together to learn more about the organizations they are supporting.  Finally, buddies worked together on a variety of service learning projects.  It was a wonderful day of giving at MTE!  

Here are the community organizations we supported:

• Kindergarten and 5th grade students- Lifeworks
• 1st grade and 3rd grade students- Ronald McDonald House
• 2nd and 4th grade students- Wesley Community
• Mrs. Church and Ms. Levan's classes- Saratoga County SPCA
